every muscle, but the water still mounted
until they were both covered. A roar as
of thunder filed his ears, and his head
seemed about to burst, but he managed to
preserve some coolness BY violent
effort he loosened Niya's frantic embrace,
and, still grasping her clothing, struggled
out of the mud and gained u firm foothold,
exhausted and gasping for breath.
Though his strength was almost gone
and his knees tottered, he held Niya to
his breast, looking anxiously into her
face. Her eyes were closed, and her head
fell heavily on his arm, the hair, from
which the fastenings were gone, falling
over his shoulder in thick mass and
floating on the stream.
The incident had been observed from
the chaya, and number of men now

harsh sound of the shutters being moved
in their grooves and by the sunlight
pouring in through the semi-transparent

he did not wait for breakfast, but set out

Kampei was overjoyed on reaching

very teachable, and is often kept by the
kaffirs as a domestic animal. He takes

The chacma easily learns to blow the bel

oxen; but his greatest use in that cOun-
try Is to find water. In the hot season
when the earth is parched, and springs
and streams are dry. the owner of a tame
chacma takes him To hunt for the water
they all must have. The intelligent
monkey seems to know what is wanted
or perhaps he knows by his own feelings
what to look for, and he goes carefully
over the ground. looking earnestly at
every tuft of grass and eagerly shifting

scents it or not is not known, but if there

The beverage of the Arab epicure is
dushab, a mixture of nebidh, date wine
and dibs twine juice reduced to a very
thick and luscious SYRUP From time
immemorial this has been the favorite
drink of the Bagdad gourmands, and an
anecdote of Mohdi. the second Abbaside
Caliph, who loved the brew not wisely
but well, may fittingly conclude these
jottings. Out hunting one day he
took shelter in the cabin of a peasant,
who served him with plain meal of
bread and curdled milk. The poor man
was so won by the atfable manners of
the stranger that he presently produced
a bottle of excellent date wine. The
Caliph took a good draught, and, turn
ing to the peasant. said: DO YOU know
who 1 ann No" replied the man.
Il am eunuch of the court, said
Mahdi- May Allah bless your replied
the cottager. The Cahph took another
pull at the bottle. DO you know who
l ann he again asked. Il am one of
Mahdis generals" May your grave be
sanctifiedr' exclaimed the peasant.
The Caliph took third draught and
again said: do You know who | am:
am the Commander of the Faithful"
The peasant made no remark this time
took tine bottle from Mohdis hand and
locked it away.
What does this mean" exclaimed
the Caliph: Give me the wine again.
Not a drop more do you get. said the
peasant You drank one and YOU
were eunuch at court: a second time,
and you were Mahdis general; a third
time and you We're the Commander of
the Faithful. Ii You drink again you'll

the dining hall for breakfast. He was
approached by beardleSs boy reporter
of the Post, who saluted him with:
How are you, Colonel; how are
things looking out Vest The Colonel
turned half around i'll his chair and said
abruptly;
No. thank you; | never play cards. :"
The reporter explained who he was,
but the Colonel would not listen to him.
The reporter. however. was equal to the
emergency, and he wrote nearly "A col

New Y DIRK Herald.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Chester X.
Faulkner. Chief of the Records Division
of the Pension Office, is an Indiana Dem
ocrat, and, as consequence, is not in
harmony with the advocates of civil ser
vice reform. In fact he dislikes both the
service and the commission 50 heartily
that he never neSlects an opportunity To
show it. In his official capacity Mr..
Faulkner displays great executive abil'
ity. He is devoted to his public duties,
and Senator Dan Voorhees, il his idol.
Mr. Faulkner calls the clerks in his di-
vision them hands of mine, and works
them after the manner of a mate work
ing deck hands ON Mississippi steamer,
with the exception that he does not drive
them by cursing Them Notwithstand-
ing his lack of cultivation Mr.. Faulkner
has a vein of rough. inimitable humOr,
which occasionally drops out in unex-
pected places. This happened the other
day when he met Civil Service Commits
sioner Edgerton. who Is also AN Indi an
ian, at Wizards Hotel
Commissioner Edgerton is a fine old
American gentleman of the old school.
He wears a silk hat made after the pat
tern of fifty years ago. His linen Is
faultless, ami his neck stock the same As
Webster used to wear. In department
he is dignified. and his wit has the flavor
of old age. 1t is garnished by apt quo
tations from Shakespeare and other au
thors and these have all been made pop
ular by him. He has used them SO
often that his friends know them by
heart and know. too. when to expect
them i'm his conversation. Judge Edger
ton was appointed to his present posi-
ton by the President upon the recon-
mendation of Chief Justice Waite, and
x,-htla Of b.a ultra nf Ilantnsr.tG
in assertion, he is good enough Repub-
lean in action to please even Senator
Ben Harrison. As consequence he Is
disliked by all the leading Indiana DEM
Ocrats. which dislike, il is proper to say,
is cordially reciprOcated-
When Mr. Faulkner met the Indiana
Civil Service Commissioner, as previously
stated, the following brief but spirited
conversation occurred. Said MIR. Faulk-
ner:
Them rules of your'n, Commissioner
Edgerton, amt what they ought to be.
They're all wrong, and You ought to
change them.
1T is Just possible" said the Commits
siOner in his lightest, dignified manner,
that you do not understand them rules.
You know, Faulkner, that even you
don't know everything"
That's So" retorted Falkner, Il don't
know everything, just as you say; but l
tell you how it is, Edgerton. You and
me together do know everything. You
by yourself know it all but one thing,
and that is that you are "a id fool. and
l know that, and that's how me and you
together know everything.
Upon this these two distinguished In
dianians parted in anger. The entente
corotiaie at last accounts had not been

There is SO little difference in princi-
Pile and in practical results between pa
ternal government and mob government
that it is not worth while to express pref
ence fer one over the other. We must
oppose both or we must abandon all that
our party has contended for in the past,
and relInquish all it had hoped for in the
future. Referring to the the party lines
he sald: The Democratic party stands
pledged in the most solem manner to- re-
wise the tariff, reduce the revenue. and
lightens the burdens of the people.
Upon these pledges clearly and distinctly
made, it appealed to the people in 1872
and secured a popular majority of more
than 25o.OOo over its Republican adver-
saries. Upon this pledge it elected a
President in 1884, and il Is bound by
every consideration of party policy, of
public interest. and of good faith to the
people, To stand by that pledge.

A chemist of Germany, whose re-
searches here led him to- the discovery of
some generally unknown properties of
the grape, has succeeded in extracting
the water from its juice. in vacuum,
thereby producing thickened sub
stance, not unlike molasses in consis-
tency, which will keep for many months,
and which. when needed for Use, can bs,
thinned out with water. In that shape il
is exactly like French grape juice, and
then. exposed partially to the air, with
out the addition of sugar. will turn tn
wine. This process has just been placed
before the world by DIR. Ferdinand
Apringmuehl. who is now ON his way tn
California to test his theory ON a large
scale. This will undoubtedly make a
great change in thehrade of vineyardists,
If the claims made are substantiated.

Several local writers on entomology
have noted the useful work done among
scales and aphides by the -'twice-pierced
lady bird" (chiiOcOr1ts.) This small black
lady bird, with two spots, one on each
wing cover, is quite widely distinguished
over the State and cannot be too widely
spread. About two months ago we re-
ceived a specimen from Oregon, where
the insect Is well at work on the apple
scales. An interesting statement comes
from Fresno County, where an observing
fruit grower has imported the ladybug
from San Diego County and is setting
them at work on scale-infested trees.
There is no question but that the bene-
fetal insects will destroy the pests, but
is improbable that they can do it fast
enough. However, the agency is a good
one, So far as 1T goes. The Fresno Re
publican of last week says that j. III.
Sewell, of Central Colony, received a
small lot of bugs from his son-In-law,
William IL. Atwater. of National City,
San Diego County. The first of this
species was imported to San Diego from
Florida, and turned loose to- prey upon
the scale insects infesting an orange or
chard near that city They proved such
prolific breeders and waged such inces-
SAINT war upon the scale as to almost
completely rid "A ten-acre orchard of the
presence of that dreaded pest in a single
season. Mr.. Sewells daughter wrote to
him inquiring in regard to the preva-
lence of scale i'm his orchard near the city
and suggested the Introduction of these
little parasites as an infallible remedy.
The bugs Mr.. Sewell received came by
mai. in little tin cap box, and he imme-
diately placed them upon peach tree
upon which the scale was quite notice
able. He watched their movements
with a magnifying glass, and says it was
surprising to see the little buyers get
down to work at once. As with other
ladybirds, the larvae have better quail
tiles than the perfect insect, and conse-
quently destroy more scale The lava is
a fiattish, black grub, with yellow mark
ings. and covered with long spines, each
of which has supplementary spines and
is about three-eighths of an inch in

Senatorial Humbuggery.


1t has given the Free Press consider
able pleasure and interest in observing
the motives and desires of a few political
otfice-making papers in their attitude to-
wards the SenatOrship and their Ieclara-
ton for Mr. Bloxham as the choice of
the people. There never was more hum
buggery and boeh given To the public
than the idea these papers are trying to
impress ON the people than the one re-
ferred 10. But a. it emanates entirely
from the old time element of newspa-
pers, with the exception of the Times

stand solid by the old war horses. we are
not at all alarmed or grieved.
1t looks very plain To that if Mr..
Bloxham was the choice of the entire
people as is claimed for him. he would
stand better showing than he has done
since the converting of the Legislature
If he be the choice of the people, WHY
don't the people demand of their repre-
sentatives at the capitol to support him:
In our opinion neither is Bloxham or
Perry the choice of the people. The peo-
pie elected Perry their chief magistrate
and they desire that he fill the office for
the term. The way of working up pub
lie sentiment from different counties en-
dOrsing MIR. BlOxham, does not show the.

1t has been claimed by a worthy State
contemporary that the people owe Mr..
Bloxham the honor of the position
which he now seeks. and puts his claims
down as doing so much for the State
